Özet: When considered from pregnancy to the second year of life, optimum nutrition in the first 1000 days has an important potential in shaping individual health status in both childhood and adulthood. Proper nutrition in infancy is feeding with breast milk that to be given alone for the first six months and can be continued for up to two years or beyond, together with adequate and high-quality complementary nutrition, considering its quantity and nutritional value. Despite the increased interest in the long-term effects of feeding premature babies (gestational age <37 weeks) in the literature, there are limited scientific resources regarding the transition to complementary feeding in these babies. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the latest developments in complementary nutrition in premature babies based on scientific knowledge.
